 * I am not good with PHP but I am learning…. quick question. Why can’t I echo PHP
   within a PHP tag?
 * Here is what I am trying to do… but it’s not working:
 *     ```
       <?php
       function my_super_admin_widget() {
       global $blog_id;
       if( $blog_id == '42' ) {
       echo '<?php if (function_exists('easing_slider')){ easing_slider(); }; ?>'; }
       }
       ?>
       ```
   
 * Thanks for your help!

 * I deleted sponsor_ad_widget.php and its still giving me an error. What do you
   think the problem is esmi? The trailing spaces?

 * Esmi, you were exactly right. It was the trailing spaces indeed. Thanks!
